Legend tells of a mighty sword that makes its possessor invincible.

But there is a curse on anyone who lifts the sword for conquest.

King Kareed of Archeld goes after the sword anyway, and wins it from the King of Bellandra.

When he returns home from battle, King Kareed carries two special gifts for his daughter, Princess Torina.

One is a unique crystal, in which she can view the future.

The other is the defeated king's son, Landen, who is to be her slave.

Torina immediately releases Landen, who becomes a member of the king's army and her close friend.

But trouble lurks in the kingdom of Archeld, and people accuse Landen of plotting against the king.

Torina refuses to believe Landen would hurt her family.

Then Torina begins seeing deadly visions in her crystal.

Can she save her father's life and the future of her kingdom?
